More Democrats
Seems like such a short time since:
Crockett recently raised eyebrows over her Federal Election Commission filings that showed she spent nearly $75,000 of donor money on luxury hotels, transportation and security this year in cities across the U.S.
Crockett’s filings show luxury hotel and transportation expenses in Martha’s Vineyard, Chicago, New York City, Las Vegas, San Francisco and Los Angeles, among other major cities, despite representing Texas’ 30th Congressional District, which includes Dallas. Fox News
Oh, wait – that was last Friday. No wonder it seems so recent. Nonetheless, Ms. Crockett has decided she is no longer happy to be slumming with the other lowlifes (like Omar, Bucktooth Sandy, etc.) and is going to run against John Cornyn (R) for one of Texas’ Senate seats. Cornyn does not appear to be shaking in his boots.
Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) openly celebrated the news on Monday that Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) had joined the Democratic Party’s primary for his Senate seat. Crockett pushed out former Rep. Colin Allred (D-TX), who is the more moderate of the two, when she joined the race, which pits her against progressive state Rep. James Talarico (D). Mediaite
One thing you can say for sure; modern Senate races offer up more opportunity for graft sure cost more than they used to. It will be interesting to see who her donor base is? Me, I’m thinking a couple of megadonors will have her bought and sold.
By the way, the actual candidate to watch against Cornyn is Ken Paxton (R, MAGA), the state’s current Attorney General. Apparently he has a break in the indictments and charges against him to be able to run.
And, touching back on Biden’s chaotic Afghan withdrawal:
…a government watchdog tasked with overseeing Afghanistan reconstruction efforts declared that “U.S. taxpayer-funded equipment, weapons, and facilities” left behind during the chaotic 2021 U.S. withdrawal have now “formed the core of the Taliban security apparatus.”
“However, DOD determined that the United States left behind approximately $7.1 billion in material and equipment it had given to the ANDSF.
Pretty sure seven billion in small arms is a lot. Wasn’t it sweet of Mr. Biden to make sure that all those dirt-poor Afghans who couldn’t afford their own weaponry got a really nice stock for free?
The 137-page document released this week from the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) states that Congress provided approximately $144.7 billion for Afghanistan reconstruction between 2002 and 2021 as part of a mission promising to bring stability and democracy to the country, “yet ultimately delivered neither.”
“Due to the Taliban takeover, SIGAR was unable to inspect any of the equipment provided to, or facilities constructed for, the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF) following the Afghan government’s collapse,” the report said.
“Similarly, any remaining ANDSF facilities that were not destroyed, can be assumed to be under Taliban control. These U.S. taxpayer-funded equipment, weapons, and facilities have formed the core of the Taliban security apparatus.” Fox News II
A good reason to oppose nation-building, seems we have a habit of leaving behind a well-armed inimical resistance.

If history is any guide 80-90% of Crockett’s funding will come from outside the State of Texas.
With a nice chunk of it coming from Soros-funded shell companies.
When, I ask, when are these miscreants who steal taxpayer money going to be dealt with in a harsh manner?
Judge Boasburg is on the case, so any day now.
Nothing to see here…..keep moving.
Wake me up when it happens.
Ahh. More of “the JC Way” as she called it. Sad that she is considered a viable contender for office in ANY state, let alone Texas. Move over, Beto; there’s a new loser coming to replace you.
If Trump invades Venezuela she will almost certainly be elected.
While cornyn isn’t worried about crocket, he is most definitely concerned about Hunt. Of the 3 repubs vying for his seat IMO Hunt is the far better choice since cornyn is a rino and Paxton has more than a couple skeletons hanging in his closet.
Not from Texas, but a quick search gives a very impressive resume: Wesley Hunt
West Point
Apache pilot – deployed Iraq
Cornell MBA
Current House Republican
Check, check, check, and check
The dynamic of a wannabe ghetto hood-rat slinging arrows at an accomplished black man will make for some interesting content. Her whole campaign against the others would just be “the race card”, but Hunt will have that card declined. I hope he her knocks her for her straight-haired wig, false eyelashes, and fake ghetto persona.
I might also support Hunt over John Cornyn.
Cornyn is no RINO. I can’t think of any issue that he has been on the wrong side of. He is however getting old.
He gave full support to pelosi over gun control and red flag issues.
Mahthah’s Vineyahd?
There’s nothing BUT luxury hotels there.
That place isn’t for the common peasant.
Nothing will happen to her because of her skin color
Yup, yup. What he said.
crockett running, what a crock of shit.
“the United States left behind approximately $7.1 billion in material and equipment it had given to the ANDSF.”
“Wasn’t it sweet of Mr. Biden to make sure that all those dirt-poor Afghans who couldn’t afford their own weaponry got a really nice stock for free?”
So your position is that we should have left the ANDSF (Our dear friends and close allies, remember?) standing around in their underwear throwing rocks at the Taliban?
That’s pretty much where they are now. It would’ve been cheaper and safer if we’d have left them that way. Yeah, it’s sarcasm, but with a wee bit of truth.

As y’all remember earlier:

Just try checking out of Supply missing five tent stakes and a Guide Line. You better pony up that $17 worth of gear you never used.
Full Disclosure: Hack Stone turned in his 782 Gear in Saudi Arabia when he was sent back CONUS for Radio tech School, and that Dickhead Supply Clerk at CSSD-12 wanted Hack to pay for the gear above. Hack Stone did not pay.
